Im just 8 weeks and my legs especially calves are aching at night. Thought leg pain comes later in pregnancy, not this early? Anyone else had this in first trimester?
I had terrible leg pain in my first trimester, felt like I had run a marathon! My gynac said it was normal but told me to do light stretching before sleeping. It actually got much better in the second trimester, so hang in there.
Same here, I am in my 12th week and my calves ache so much at night! Did your doctor suggest any calcium supplements for this? Do let me know if you find any good remedy.
I totally understand how painful and exhausting this can be, dear. Your body is doing so much work to create a beautiful life. Just ask your husband to gently massage your legs with warm oil, you deserve that pampering.
My tracker app showed that early progesterone surges and increased blood volume can cause these leg cramps. Tracking your daily water intake is key, so make sure you are getting enough hydration to avoid muscle stiffness.
